But I also need to rest a bit. Recharge my batteries. And Xmas is coming too. Which usually means low volatility and low trading volume. Not the kind of markets I like! (In fact, most years I reduce my trading during Xmas time to the very minimum).

Besides, our hedge fund needs a massive upgrade in every single way. We will be upgrading all of our hardware. Our entire infrastructure. Our proprietary risk-management application. To get ready for the next year, and the significant amount of money that is on the way. And that’s better to do completely “offline”. Plus, my hedge fund team needs some rest too. (They truly deserve it).

So, for this year…

…I am done with trading!

Until January, no markets anymore.

No thinking about my positions.

Just resting with a book in my favorite cafes in Kuala Lumpur. Cleaning my head. And letting new trading ideas and improvements arise.

Now, the reason I am sharing this with you is:

You should do the same.

You’ve been probably working on your trading the whole year.

Thinking, solving, stretching your brain.

But it needs to rest a bit too.

YOU need to rest a bit too.

So just do it.

Replenish. Recharge. Restart. You have about 3 weeks to do that. To get ready for 2019 being your best trading year EVER.

Remember: Nobody ever died from resting 🙂

The markets will be here in January again. With new opportunities, as always.

“Learning how to properly assess the cluster analysis and walk forward report was the most important. I have much more confidence in what I'm doing now.”

"As a programmer who has been fiddling with automated trading via AmiBroker and standalone Interactive Brokers API I kind of thought 'Oh well, another set of rules to program, might be interesting, may as well have a look'.

I was completely blown away by Tomas' automated strategy creation idea - so obvious in retrospect, but so clever. Effectively optimizing the strategies rather than the parameters. Game-changer."

DaveEmini Breakout Strategies Student

"Tomas, Andrew and their team put together a thought through, very well structured program. I can recommend this to anyone who wants to develop very robust strategies in many different markets."

OliverBreakout Strategies Masterclass Student

"Everything that Tomas puts out is quality content. I own several of his courses and can say that the information and ideas are outstanding."

“Immediately after applying just the time filters from the ‘Smashing False Breakouts’ course, I achieved an absolutely massive improvement.”

"This really is a game-changing course and one that was worth every penny."

AlanMarket Internals Student

“I’ve been testing out the MI codes the last few days and just adding the mini-smart code and about 20 min of testing, my new results are a 54% reduction in drawdown!

Wonderful code and course. I really hope you guys release more on this particular topic.”

AlexMarket Internals Student

"The scope and content of the course is impressive. The support is prompt and detailed. All in all, an excellent package!"

JohnEmini Breakout Strategies Student

"I finished the masterclass in a few days. It is an excellent course and I wished I had that at the beginning of my trading adventure. I was impressed with how generous Tomas is with the know-how he passes on. I think anyone who trades mechanically will find lots of gems. Most of the traders don't have that level of automation and will be amazed to get a full methodology."

ThomasBreakout Strategies Masterclass Student

"Just finished the course yesterday, and I really do like all the Dynamic Position Sizing concepts! The simplicity and novelty of the concepts surprise time again and again. And yet they are very powerful. Another valuable tool in your trading toolbox."
